Customers are permitted to carry camping stoves and fuel containers that have contained a flammable liquid fuel providing that the fuel tank of the camping stove and/or fuel container has been completely drained of all liquid fuel, and action has been taken to nullify the danger.  

To nullify the danger, the following steps must be taken: 

• the empty fuel tank and/or container must be allowed to drain for at least 1 hour, and 
• the fuel tank and/or container must then be left uncapped for a minimum of 6 hours to allow any residual fuel to evaporate. 

Alternative methods, such as adding cooking oil to the fuel tank and/or container to elevate the flash point of any residual liquid above the flash point of flammable liquid and then emptying the fuel tank and/or container, are equally acceptable.  

The fuel tank, and/or container must then have the cap securely fastened and be wrapped in an absorbent material such as paper towel and placed in a polyethylene or equivalent bag. The top of the bag must then be sealed or gathered and closed with an elastic band or twine.  

Provided the above cleaning method is followed, the fuel stove or container can be classified as non-hazardous. 

Customers are permitted to carry fuel cells used to power portable electronic devices (such as cameras, cellular phones, laptop computers and camcorders) and spare fuel cell cartridges, providing the following requirements are adhered to:

In addition, each fuel cell cartridge must be marked with the maximum quantity and type of fuel in the cartridge.
• Fuel cells containing fuel are permitted in hand luggage only.
• Interaction between fuel cells and integrated batteries in a device must conform to IEC 62282-6-100 Ed. 1, including Amendment 1. Fuel cells whose sole function is to charge a battery in the device are not permitted on any Jet2.com flight.
• Fuel cells must be of a type that will not charge batteries when the portable electronic device is not in use and must be durably marked by the manufacturer “APPROVED FOR CARRIAGE IN AIRCRAFT CABIN ONLY” to so indicate.

Customers may carry no more than two spare fuel cell cartridges in hold baggage, hand luggage, or on their person. 

Customers are permitted to carry flammable liquid powered internal combustion or fuel cell engines that are either being carried separately or incorporated into a machine or other apparatus without batteries or other dangerous goods as hold baggage, providing the following requirements are met: 

• the engine is powered by a fuel that doesn’t meet the Dangerous Goods classification criteria for any class or division; or
• the fuel tank of the vehicle, machine or other apparatus has never contained any fuel, or the fuel tank has been flushed and purged of vapours and adequate measures taken to nullify the hazard.

Additionally:

• the entire fuel system of the engine must not have any free liquid, and
• all fuel lines must either be:
  • sealed or capped, or
  • securely connected to the machinery or apparatus.

If the fuel tank has previously contained fuel, you must provide us with written or electronic documentation at check in stating that a flushing and purging procedure has been followed.  

We reserve the right to refuse the carriage of any internal combustion or fuel cell engines if the smell of fuel vapour is present. 

You may travel with gas cylinders worn for the operation of mechanical limbs in either your hand luggage or hold baggage, providing the cylinders contain only a non-flammable, non-toxic gas. 

You may also carry spare cylinders of a similar size, if required, to ensure an adequate supply for the duration of your journey. 

We can only carry battery-powered mobility aids if your mobility is restricted by either your disability, health, age or a temporary mobility problem. Due to the size of our aircraft, such devices must reduce in height to 81cm high or less to fit through the cargo hold doors of our aircraft. We can only carry a maximum of three battery-powered mobility aids on a single flight, which will be accepted on a first come first served basis. 

If you’re travelling with a mobility aid, you must let us know in advance. Due to the variety of mobility aids available, it’s essential that you provide us with some key information about your device at least 48 hours before travel: 

• make and model of motorised device - if your mobility device is a manual wheelchair with a separate battery pack, please provide us with the make and model of the battery pack, 
• type of battery, 
• number of batteries used to operate your device, 
• number of spare batteries, 
• the weight of your device in kilograms, 
• dimensions in centimetres (including instructions on how to collapse it to 81cm or less in height, if applicable), and 
• instructions on how to switch off and make your device safe for flight. 

You must also tell us if your device has been modified in any way since you bought it – we may ask for documentation to show that any modifications have been carried out by an approved party (e.g. the manufacturer). 

Electrical circuits must be inhibited to stop accidental operation during flight – how you do this can vary by device, so it’s best to check the manufacturer’s instructions before calling us. Some have a key that can be switched to the ‘off’ position and removed. An aid which is only switched ‘on’ and ‘off’ with a push-button could be reactivated during a flight by accidental movement of baggage or cargo, so further steps may be needed to inhibit the circuits of such devices. For example, disconnecting electric cable plugs or connectors, or inserting an inhibiting plug (such as an Airsafe plug) into the charging socket of the devices. 

On newer models of mobility aids, battery terminals tend to be protected from short circuit through the battery being fully encased and being an integral part of the device. On other models where the battery terminals are exposed, you may need to insulate battery terminals, e.g. with electrical insulating tape.  

In all cases, a battery(ies) required for the operation of your device should only be removed if either the: 

• mobility aid doesn’t provide adequate protection for the battery(ies) due to its design, or 
• electrical circuits can’t be isolated. 

You’re responsible for making your mobility aid safe before your flight, as we’re not obliged to – this includes you travelling with any permitted tools required to facilitate this. Once we’re happy that it’s been made safe, we’ll load it onto the aircraft. If we’re not satisfied that it’s been made safe, we won’t be able to load your device onboard. Other factors which could prevent us carrying an electric mobility aid include: 

• the dimensions exceeding the cargo door dimensions,  
• the tare (unladen) weight exceeding the aircraft loading limitations, or  
• insufficient space being available on the aircraft at the time of booking. 

By checking in your device, you confirm to us that these requirements (and all specific requirements for the type of battery you are carrying) have been adhered to, ensuring that the device and associated batteries (including any spares) are safe for travel.
